to the door frame with velcro. It was only supposed to be a temporary solution and it worked very well. When my sister moved in with her 3 cats, we got a handy person to install a Home Depot wooden screen door and that has been a real help in keeping the younger cats from bothering the old ones. The screen door is mounted to the door frame so the bedroom door still opens and closes as it should.
